This invention relates to that class of cookin g apparatus commonlyknown as summer stoves and the first part of my improvements consists inproviding such stoves with an extension top that is furnished with twoordinary lids or covers and a short center. 6 The second part of myimprovements relates to a v smoke-consumin g apparatus that is appliedto the fire-chamber of such stoves in a manner which will be hereinaftermore fully described.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure l is a perspective view of a summerstove embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of thesame. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the fire-chamber.

The fire-chamber A, which is preferably circular in its horizontalsection, is provided with a rearward extension, B, having neck 0 for theattachment of a stove-pipe. This extension is also furnished with twoordinary lids or covers, D D, and a short center, E. For

general cooking purposes the lids D D only are removed; but whenever itis desired to heat an ironin g-pan, wash-boiler, or other large vessel,theshort center E is alsoremoved. A

lining, F, is placed within the chamber A in such a manner as to leavean annular space, G, between these two members; and said lining isprovided, near the top of its rear side, with openings f that admitheated air above the fuel, and thus promote combustion and assist inconsuming the smoke.
